    Currently running norton 360, but temporarily turned off firewall and it still won't print
    Printer connected by USB cord, printer is both connected to the wall and to the computer
    The computer recognizes the printer is there but can't communicate with it
    I have restarted them multiple times and no dice
    This has been happening for months and months and the "cannot communicate" message used to only pop up sometimes, now it is every time I try to print
    I have tried a different USB cable And doesn't work either
    It is using the printer port LPT1
    I don't have the disk the printer came with

    Please help I have multiple assignments due by midnight and have read through pages and pages with the same issue and nothing works and I'm about to freaking throw it out the window

    Why is it on LPT1 ? ?

      I don't know, I didn't set up the printer. Is that the problem/should I change it/how?
